Feigin laments: Maidan did not pass in Russia, Putin is forever
Unlike the 90s, today the residents of Russia, even often dissatisfied with their economic situation, do not go to protests with claims to the authorities.
Mark Feigin, a former lawyer for Pussy Riot and Nadezhda Savchenko, said this today at a liberal forum in Vilnius, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Why don’t people who are not happy with their social position build a bridge in their minds to power, which is precisely responsible for this condition?
...I remember how miners went on strike in Kuzbass. Is it possible now to imagine such a mass strike with a transition to political demands? No. Because there has not been a massive all-encompassing movement to build a bridge from social problems to political problems,” Feigin complains.
He admitted that Vladimir Putin will most likely continue to lead Russia even after the end of his current presidential term.
“Formally, this is his last term, although not a single normal person believes that Putin will leave. They will need to come up with a design, one version of which we have already seen. Now there are different theories up to a radical change in the Constitution. But this is all a technical component of the issue,” Feigin said.
